Washington Square in San Luis, Torrevieja - Costa Blanca - Alicante with Mike and Yvonne

- Mike and Yvonne visit Washington Square in San Luis and ride from there to Churchills, and Chicken Shack and then finish at The Oasis.
Washington Square houses, The George Bar, The Washington Bar, and Restaurant Cafeteria D'avel as well as a well-stocked supermarket, hairdressers, and a charity shop.
It's not the easiest complex to find out of the 6 in the El Chaparral, La Siesta and San Luis community hubs but it's well worth looking for to find out what's going on there.
The area we visit on the right-hand side of the CV905 going out of Torrevieja just above the empty land called La Hoya houses six hot spots of activity, Washington Square is on Calle Paganini.

Lovely video. Great to see the lay of the land and the different routes. Keep up the good work!!
Hi Coopspur, Thanks for your comment. All the best Mike and Yvonne.
You guys should take one of the dance classes at the Oasis and do a video about the different classes they have and maybe go to the dance social and show us your moves.
Hi Triple - Step Travellers, Our moves in the dance department may leave a lot to be desired but thanks for asking. We are always looking for new content so will take your idea onboard. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
Hi mike and yvonne we recently joined your site late on, and we had a scroll through some of your older videos. we loved your blooper videos, they gave us a real good laugh, particularly when you’d had a glass or three . my wife says your jokes are as cheesy as mine. please can we have some more bloopers as well as your regular videos. looking forward to the next one, paul angela from hull.
Hi Paul and Angela, thanks for watching our videos. We do try and make sure we keep all the funny bits for our Christmas video. We have done two now and the next one is due in December. Sometimes I think it might be good to put them at the end of each video if there is something funny that's happened during the filming of that episode. I'll have a think about that one. Hope all is well in Hull, thanks for your comments, best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
Enjoyed watching this one, as we just live round the corner from the Oasis, looking forward to your next visit to Torrevieja, and to buy you both that coffee we promised 😊
Hi Diane, we will be back there at the end of August for almost 3 months so we might bump into you then. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne
Cheers guys! See you next trip 😉😎
Thanks for the footage Andy, look forward to seeing you in August. All the best Mike and Yvonne.
@@BetweenTheLakes no problem- anytime. You know where I am if you need any other local stock footage 😉
Hey Mike & Yvonne , great video as always, lovely area you’re in there in Torrevieja. Look forward to seeing your next video 👍. Keep up the great content please 🙏🏽
Hi Yogi, hope you are well. Thanks for watching once again. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
€1 for that shirt, we’ll I say shirt , it was more like a tent🤣
Cracking informative video, looks like your doing about 50 kph …..nice aerial shots of the Pink Lake.
Keep doing what your doing guys.
Miss being out there, we would come out there 3 times a year, but our last visit was August 2020.
Hi Tony, it's my favorite shirt, nice and cool....lol
Thanks for your nice comments, all the best, Mike and Yvonne.
Great video as usual. I've just bought a place not far from Washington Square so really good to see it.
Hi Dougie, it's a great place to be, we like the bars and supermarket there and it's also on the bus route - what more could you want...All the best Mike and Yvonne.
Great video and camera work as per usual 👍
Thank you, hope you are well. Best wishes Mike and Yvonne.
Great video 👍
Cheers Dennis, All the best and thanks for watching, Mike and Yvonne.
Great video , when you went down bank towards churchhills the bus carries on along the the top avenida robleda then turns left at the end and stops outside the plaza tolosa
Can't wait to get back out there
Hi Paul, Thanks for the info, thought it might go along the outside at the top. Enjoy your next trip out there. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
Think would be good to follow the Bus Route from Shannon into Town, if there are places to wait and have a drink/ food bathroom etc...at each stop, what is the route back and again where are nice places to stop and have tapas, or cold beers.... this would be good for tourists with no transport...
The new Bar at the bus stop beside ITV is very good as an example ...
Hi Gweedoreone, yes that does sound like a good one to do. Things are changing in Torrevieja regarding the buses. There is to be a new terminal opposite the Habaneras Shopping Centre, where that big plot of land is at the flamingo roundabout. We think the airport bus will land there which is great for us. When we find out when and what the local council are doing and have more details we will do an episode on that for definite. Thanks for watching and your comments. All the best Mike and Yvonne.
@@BetweenTheLakes yes seen that also, so would be great to jump on a bus and go somewhere different , and only a 10min walk... excellent
Brilliantly informative videos, love watching them. Could you please tell me if there is a local bus service from your area to the sea front, thanks Steven
HI Steven, thanks for your enquiry. Yes there is a bus from where we are and as far as the top of San Luis where you can easily get a bus from there to the beach / town centre. The buses we use are the B bus which goes through Torretas and the G bus which goes through San Luis, El Chaparral etc.
The good news is that there will be a new bus station quite near us, (opposite Habaneras) which will be great and we believe the airport bus will land there instead of the town centre one.
Hello Mike and Yvonne’
I have seen with great pleasure your videos.
Always on your bikes we have been last January and February in La mata without our bikes.
We intend to take our bike with us because we will be in La Mata next year from January for three months.
Can you recommend us bicycle routes for e-bikes in the region of La Mata and Torrevieja
Greets Peter
Hi Peter, Thanks for watching our videos. We have been to La Mata on our bikes several times from our house in Altos del Limonar which is about 5 kms. We always use the cycle paths when possible. There are some good cycle tracks in places particularly around the N332. I get all my info about the tracks from Google earth where you can see them on the images. I have found this to be our best form of discovery.
Thanks for your comment, hope you have a great trip in January
Hello Mike and Yvonne - How do you get your AERIAL photos - Do you use a DRONE ?? - GOOD VIDEOS, THANKS.
Hi James, Yes I use a drone to get all the aerial shots. Full details about all the equipment we use in the description of each video.
Hi luv watching your video's, we luv that area going over in july to punta prima . Have yous been to the new strip over the bridge at punta prima. 😊
Hi Amanda, thanks for watching and your comment. We went, as you probably saw to Nautilus and Yoku Restaurant but didn't go across the bridge to the other side of the N332. Next time we will go to that area as we have never been there. Is that where the new strip is? All the best Mike and Yvonne.
hi, it's great to follow you, you do a great job with your videos. Do you live all year round in Spain,
Hi Sinobia66, thank you for your nice comments. We are 2nd home owners in Torrevieja and can only spend 90 days in every 180 days which is what we do. So it’s 90 days in Spain then 90 days UK and back to Spain again. Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne
Great video
When did you go back and when are you out again
Think we just missed you we where out 1 till 17 June
Hi Gary we have been in the UK since May 29th. We have got to now wait until end of August before we can go back (due to 90 day rule) we have booked and will be out there from then until the end of November. Then we have to return to UK and count another 90 days....lol. Thanks for watching and your comment, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
Hi Mike and Yvonne can you tell me where San Luis is .? We want to Come and see a house.
Hi Zareena, San Luis can be found above El Chaparral on both sides of the CV905 road which comes out of Torrevieja center. There is San Luis Lakeside on the left around Mercadona Supermarket by the roundabout and San Luis is also on the right. It's about 4 km - 5km from the Torrevieja Centre. If you are looking for a property there try Casas Espania on the La Siesta roundabout casasespania.com/
@@BetweenTheLakes thank you so much for the information! Have a nice day greeting from Amsterdam
You're welcome...@@Zareena11
Have you been to liqueur 43 factory it is near torreveja
Hi Mikael, We haven't been but heard about it. It's quite near by car but a bit far on our bikes. It's just before Cartagena on the CT 32 about 50 kms from where we are in Torrevieja. It's 14€ each for the basic tour and takes about 1 hour. Maybe one day we'll go. Thanks for watching, all the best Mike and Yvonne.
